The skies above Singapore lit up this week as China's Bayi Aerobatic Team debuted their upgraded J-10C fighter jets at the 10th Singapore Airshow! 🇸🇬 Six sleek aircraft from the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force performed gravity-defying maneuvers, including a first-ever six-plane barrel roll that left spectators in awe.
This marks the team's first appearance since their 2020 show with older J-10A models. The switch to J-10Cs in 2023 has supercharged their performances – new digital fly-by-wire systems enable razor-sharp formations that move like synchronized swimmers in the sky 💫. China Media Group reports the tech allows pilots to maintain formation accuracy within 10 centimeters during complex maneuvers!
Aviation geeks are buzzing about the Chengdu Aircraft Corporation-developed jets, which combine single-engine efficiency with multi-role combat capabilities. The team's new axis rotation move by Aircraft #6 has already gone viral on TikTok 🚀.
With 40+ countries participating, this airshow proves Asia remains at the forefront of aerospace innovation. Next show dates: Feb 6-11 at Changi Exhibition Center – who's booking flights? ✈️
